Funded by the Department of Labor through the San Jacinto College Information Technology Training for Tomorrow or IT3 Grant, the camp is free to those who are U.S. citizens or permanents and have basic computer literacy, personal computer operating system navigation skills, Internet usage skills and basic Internet Protocol address knowledge.

“We are excited to offer yet another training opportunity to local businesses,” says UH-Clear Lake Cyber Security Institute Director and Associate Professor of Computer Science and Computer Information Systems Andrew Yang. “This valuable training will give participants all the skills they need to become certified for the highly demanded CCNA certifications.”

Specifically, the course will cover how to install, operate, configure and verify a basic IPv4 and IPv6 network. Attendees will learn how to configure a LAN switch and IP router as well as how to identify basic security threats, understand redundant topologies, troubleshoot common network issues and more.

The training and exam is free to those who qualify, but space is limited. To find out more or to register, email San Jacinto College IT3 Grant Director Lydia Chavez-Garcia, Lydia.chavez-garcia@sjcd.edu.
